It’s been a busy first term as state attorney general for Letitia James.

“I’ve sued the gun lobby, I’ve sued you know who,” she said to supporters at a Brooklyn event on the eve of the election.


What You Need To Know

  • Attorney General Letitia James is facing a challenge from Republican Michael Henry

  • Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is facing Republican Paul Rodríguez

  • Sen. Chuck Schumer is up for re-election; Republican Joe Pinion is trying to unseat him

  • It's been more than two decades since a Republican occupied the offices of comptroller, attorney general or a seat in the U.S. Senate from New York

The former New York City public advocate fought former President Donald Trump policies, and went after his family business.

She also published a report that led to the resignation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Now she’s asking voters to give her four more years at the job at a time when New Yorkers are concerned about public safety and Republicans, like her challenger, attorney Michael Henry, are pushing for a repeal of bail reform.

“This is really out of control and I think everyone needs to take a step back and say this is not working,” Michael Henry told NY1 recently.

Another statewide position on the ballot is that of state comptroller.

Democrat Tom DiNapoli has held that office for more than fifteen years and is the second longest serving comptroller in the State’s history.

“I think it speaks to the stability that we’ve brought to the office of Comptroller,” he said in early October.

DiNapoli is facing a challenge from Republican Paul Rodríguez, who is against using the public pension fund the comptroller oversees as a tool for political activism.

“I was actually an energy banker for a few years during my career and we invested in everything,” Rodríguez said on Mornings On 1 recently.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, who’s held to his seat in the Senate for 24 years, is also up for re-election.

“Don’t forget me. I’m on the ballot, too,” he told supporters in Brooklyn on Monday afternoon.

For the last two years, he’s served as senate majority leader, a powerful position he might lose if Democrats don’t keep control of the chamber.

Schumer is facing Republican Joe Pinion, a conservative TV host who told supporters last week: “We are going to take that geriatric dinosaur, we are going to put him out to pasture.”

New York hasn’t had a Republican governor in 16 years.

It’s been even longer for the offices of attorney general, comptroller and the U.S. Senate.
